Homeland walks us through the formative years of Drizzt, from just before his birth to ultimately setting off on the rest of his journey. Salvatore builds upon brutal Drow society, establishing politics, lore, and its home Menzoberranzan in the Underdark. Drizzt is a predictable but enjoyable character to follow, and his thoughts and flaws are well established. I enjoyed it, can see where the trilogy is going, and am quickly starting book 2 next!
